Shop custom apparel by category
Every category opens a catalog of blank garments you can decorate. Pick the style, choose a method, upload your art and we take it from there.
Which decoration method fits your shirts?
All four run in our Tempe shop. This is how we decide which one to recommend when a quote comes in.
| Method | Best for | Sweet spot | Durability | Color and detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen printingPlastisol and water-based inks | Tees, hoodies, event and team shirts with 1 to 6 spot colors | 24 pieces and up; cost per shirt drops fast with quantity | Highest on cotton | Bold, opaque color; exact Pantone matching |
| EmbroideryDigitized thread logos | Polos, work shirts, caps, jackets, uniforms | Any quantity, including single pieces | Outlasts the garment | Clean logos and text; fine detail is limited by stitch size |
| DTF transferDirect-to-film heat transfer | Full-color art on almost any fabric, including polyester and performance blends | 1 to a few hundred pieces; mixed sizes and colors in one run | Strong, flexible | Unlimited colors, gradients and photos |
| DTG printingDirect-to-garment inkjet | Photo-quality art on cotton tees, small runs and one-offs | 1 to 50 pieces | Softest hand; fades gently with washing | Unlimited colors, soft feel, best on light cotton |
Names and numbers on jerseys are cut from heat-applied vinyl or printed with DTF, depending on the fabric. More on each method at printing we offer.

How to choose the right blank shirt
The garment matters as much as the print. A few things we walk every customer through.
100% cotton
The classic tee. Takes screen printing and DTG best, breathes well, and shrinks slightly on the first wash. Pick it for promo tees, events and retail brands that want a soft, matte print.
Cotton-poly blends
Less shrinkage, fewer wrinkles, lighter feel. A 50/50 or tri-blend is the safe choice for uniforms and school spirit wear that gets washed constantly.
Performance polyester
Moisture-wicking and built for Arizona heat. Polyester rejects standard DTG ink, so we decorate it with DTF, embroidery or specialty screen inks. Ideal for teams, gyms and outdoor crews.
Weight and fit
Lighter fabrics (4 to 5 oz) for summer and giveaways, midweight (5.5 to 6 oz) for uniforms, heavyweight for hoodies and streetwear. Most styles come in men's, women's, youth and tall cuts so one order fits the whole group.
Artwork
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) print cleanest. Send a JPG or PNG if that is what you have; our art department recreates most logos and you approve a proof before production.
How a shirt order works
Five steps from first message to finished shirts. Tell us your in-hands date up front and we schedule backward from it.

Custom shirt questions from Tempe customers
What is the minimum order for custom shirts?
Embroidery, DTF and DTG have no minimum; you can order a single piece. Screen printing is priced for runs of 12 or more, and becomes the most economical option around 24 pieces and up.
How fast can you turn around an order?
Standard production is scheduled once the proof is approved and blanks arrive, typically within two weeks. Rush options are available; call 480-967-7015 with your in-hands date and we will confirm what is possible.
Can I bring my own shirts to be printed or embroidered?
In many cases, yes. Bring a sample by the Tempe shop so we can confirm the fabric works with the method you want. Customer-supplied garments are decorated at your risk, since we cannot replace a piece we did not source.
Do you serve Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Scottsdale?
Yes. Most of our customers are in Tempe and the surrounding East Valley, including Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale and Phoenix. Local pickup is at our shop near Priest Dr and the Loop 202, and we ship orders anywhere in the U.S.
What file type do you need for my logo?
A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) gives the cleanest result for screen printing and embroidery. For DTF and DTG a high-resolution PNG at print size works. If you only have a low-resolution logo, our art department can recreate it.
Can one order mix sizes, colors and men's and women's cuts?
Yes. Screen printing needs the same ink colors across the run, but garment sizes and cuts can be mixed. DTF, DTG and embroidery can mix garment colors as well.
